Name one car that weighs over 3200 lbs, has 300 hp and gets 30 mpg? Duh!!!!

 

I am a woman, drive mostly in town, and can't seem to reach 15 mpg.

 

i averaged 19 the first 2 weeks i got my G, but i only got 280 on the tank. then again, i filled it up when i still had a quarter left on the tank!! :P lol

im averaging 16 right about now, its due to mostly around town

 

to answer Texasscout....the GTO has 350-400 Hp, weighs 3800 lbs and gets 30 highway. That is only on the M6 GTO, my A4 gets 23 highway.

 

Last night I tried to get the best mile per gal. I put the cruse control at 60mph. I got 47 mile per gal which is cool try it

 

I shall proceed to crying now I get horrible mileage the best my tank has ever seen is about 305 miles for 17.5 mpg that was a one time deal too. on average I see a gas station every other day. And I've been calculating I'm getting about 14.1 mpg or so. My "E" light come on at 200 miles now and I drive it till about 250-260 and have to put in about 16.5 to 17.5 gallons at that point. DAMN and imagine when I get my S/C next week... = 0

 

i do only city driving .. and occasionaly on the highway .. and i get about 18.5MPG .. with atleast 290 Miles on a gas tank.

 

Is that what you read on the window sticker or is that a figure from actual driving? Mine said 27 highway and i get 23. I don't know a single V8 that will get over 25 in REAL world driving.

 

RIGHT.... maybe off a cliff with the motor off!

 

i think it may be the waay that the both of you drive the car...

do you happen to "pound" or "open her up" at times, say on the freeway...???

 

yep, thats about the same for me too, 290 to 300

 

I got 28 over the weekend...with straight highway. I was impressed.

 

i average around 16 mpg in a 6-speed. My lowest is 14, and my highest is 19.8. My highway driving mileage is always bad, because i drive at high speeds, so that means high rpms, and lots of downshifting and passing, sucking down gas.

 

Some 2 weeks ago, I gased up at a Chevron about 1 block from Hwy 280. I headed up to Auburn, which is approx. some 130 miles away. I exited at the Foresthills exit and went to the Chevron station, which is just right off Hwy 80 and gased up, again. To my surprise, I got 29.0909 mpg. It was all highway driving. My average speed was about 70 mph. Average outside air temp was probably 85 degress F. I had the cruise control on for probably about 50 of the actual miles driven and the AC was off and on for over half of the trip, as well.

Other than that trip, I will normally get anywhere from 16mpg to 20mpg.

And if you can believe this . . . This was with an engine, which consumes a ton of oil. The engine had approx. 2900 miles on it at the beggining of the trip.

 

I do mostly highway and I usually get 20.5 mpg.
